Problem Note 39345: Starting SAS® Enterprise Miner(tm) client from the server after applying SAS® 9.2 Phase 2 maintenance gives an error: exception thrown by the agent

DetailsAboutRate It

After applying SAS® 9.2 Phase 2 maintenance, when you start the SAS Enterprise Miner client from the server by executing em.bat from \SAS\Lev1\AnalyticsPlatform\apps\EnterpriseMiner\bin, or by executing em.sh from /SAS/Lev1/AnalyticsPlatform/apps/EnterpriseMiner/bin, the following error might appear in the SAS® Analytics Platform log:

Error: Exception thrown by the agent : java.lang.RuntimeException: com.sas.app.RepositoryException: Encountered a plugin request (dependency) which conflicts with previous requests or previousy selected plugin version: sas.apps.session.nls [105201.4.0.20091028190000_m2apc15,105201.4.0.20091028190000_m2apc15], sas.apps.session.nls [105000.6.0.20090325190000_d2apc15,105000.6.0.20090325190000_d2apc15], sas.apps.session.server.nls [105000.6.0.20090325190000_d2apc15,105000.6.0.20090325190000_d2apc15], sas.apps.session.server.nls [105201.4.0.20091028190000_m2apc15,105201.4.0.20091028190000_m2apc15]

This error results from a problem with the PICKLISTS listed in the em.bat and em.sh files. Client connections from SAS Enterprise Miner client or from Java Web Start will continue to work. The problem occurs only on the server that is trying to run the SAS Enterprise Miner client.

To manually resolve this problem, you can edit em.bat or em.sh to change the PICKLIST. Understand that the path will not be the same in your installation.

For em.bat, change from:

PICKLISTS=@/install/EM61M2/config/Lev1/AnalyticsPlatform/picklist.config:@/insta
ll/EM61M2/config/Lev1/AnalyticsPlatform/apps/EnterpriseMiner/picklist.config:@/i
nstall/EM61M2/config/Lev1/AnalyticsPlatform/apps/EnterpriseMiner/picklists/tm/pi

cklist.config:@/install/EM61M2/config/Lev1/AnalyticsPlatform/apps/EnterpriseMine

For em.sh, change from:

PICKLISTS=@/data/config/Lev1/AnalyticsPlatform/picklist.config:@/data/config/Lev1/A
nalyticsPlatform/apps/EnterpriseMiner/picklist.config:@/data/config/Lev1/AnalyticsP
